Ron Vlaar Move Off?

Seems a bit silly. When he was being shown around VP, surely someone must of told him "Look Ron, we're off to the US tomorrow for 3 friendlies, so nothing will happen unti we get back in about 10 days ok?" Or is that too simple?

Just Fayanoordx rying to press the issue

Vlaar's comments about wanting to come here were pleasing but foolish really. Feyenoord's comments are irritating and unnecessary too. But to be fair, I remember how irritated we were when the talk suurounding our captain Barry was going on and on and we all said we just wanted a decision and get it over with so we could move on - and that was before City actually made an offer too. He's there captain and a talisman for them. I don't think we've done any wrong, but I see their point of view

OGS sage all over again!

Well after listening to what PL said RE: Vlaar, don't reckon that the "chat" that they had was as positive as the Feyenoord captain thought!!!!

I said all along Vlaar would use this as a way of getting a better contract and until he's in the shirt and on the pitch - that's what I'll believe...unless we can get Karim to tell him to chill out and hold on a few days.

We HAVE the funds. We don't need to sell. Truthis, Lerner and his employees would have studied all the perfromance stats last season and found that many of the high earners were vastly overpaid whereas many of the best performers were on the lowest - simple maths - get shot of the 5hit and recruit players hungry, with increasing performance / very good performance stats to do a proper job. This Vlaar saga has some legs to keep running and I wouldn't be surprised to hear a retraction along the lines of a misquote and so on - either way, Lambert will have more than one target up his sleeve and we shouldn't be too worried. Perhaps a poll of current Norwich players we'd like in our squad is needed?

We've dealt perfectly fairly badger, wasn't us shooting our mouths off about the deal in the press was it? Koeman has confirmed we haven't placed a bid, so what is there to discuss? We showed manners, we sought permission to meet him and show him around so Lambert could judge him. Again, it's been Feyenoord who have shouting their mouths about the 'impending deal'. Vlaar has only spoken out because Koeman has shot his load and said he won't play in pre season unless he's sure he's staying.

Plenty of lions in the savanah -- to coin a phrase!

Why pin hopes on some ducth bloke when there is 1000's of centre backs we could choose from.

Seems to me Feyenoord are more eager to sell than we are to buy, I'll trust Lambo's decision either way.

badger mate chill out a bit, and realise its Feyenoord who have been running there mouths of because Koeman wants transfer funds he has already said the money of the Vlaar sale he needs to add more players to his squad thats why they have been trying to hurry up a move to sell Vlaar, that is not out problem they need tranfer funds is it? Also if it was not fo the media like twitter papers etc we would not know Vlaar was shown around VP so is it Lambert's or Randy;s oreven Paul Faulkner's fault we live in a world where if your fart people will know about it? Maybe just maybe as said above Lambert was not impressed with the meeting he had with Vlaar? is that so bad? Also if Lambert does want to ell Collins etc before we add that maybe a big factor aswell who really knows? Lets lay of this negative maning about things we really do not understand about before we start speculating or moaning as some are doing ay ;)

Agree with the above two posts 100% well said

No you don't Badger. You sound out the player, you make a judgement on whether they will harmonise with the team and Lambert clearly wanted to see whether Vlaar was eying the money of the Premiership or the challenge. Do you really think a deal is signed without the player meeting folks first? Lambert then dismissed Feyenoord's comments that a deal was near as said we were someway off. If you really believe you go for a player or you don't, then in this case we haven't for whatever reason. Just cause Feyenoord shot their mouths off doesn't make us wrong. They fuelled the signed in 48 hours stuff, *****ed off their own fans, and now look thoroughly unprofessional whilst we have done everything by the book. If we want him we'll make an approach, we obviously haven't made an approach and Feyenoord are trying to blame us so they don't look like dicks, and Vlaar is speaking up to protect his future because Koeman has said he won't play him if his future at the club isn't guaranteed. Absolutely nothing to have a pop at the club about here, again Vlaar and Feyenoord should have shut up, we've been caught out at nothing and we've done everything right. We are considering making a move, so how the hell can we say yes or no whilst we consider and weigh up options? The world isn't as black and white as you think. You aren't ordering a pallet of baked beans after receiving a quote when dealing with football are you.
